[dns-wg] (off topic) DNS test protocol

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Doug's signature verified correctly, as does Patrik's - it seems  
SOMEONE tidied up our college firewall, didn't recognise the  
keyserver ports, and so decided to block them. Reopening them has  
solved the problem.

I had thought I had uploaded my key, but it was a long time ago, and  
maybe I only thought it ...

Thanks, guys.
